soo.....

...where to start?

thing is, i've never really been all that much of an age-gap fan. and i've always been a bit uncomfortable with the idea of one person being just a teenager and the other a grown-up heading towards prime mid-life crisis age. never got the appeal. just not my personal kink.. (and believe me, i have one or two of those hidden somewhere, too. lol)

and no this isn't because of some arbitrary age number that assumedly signals adulthood. that ain't it, at all. it's rather a thing of there being worlds between people with that much of an age difference, especially in that "tender" age.

hell, i remember very clearly how i was at that age, how i felt, how totally convinced i was that i was grown-up and knew life and shit, and now with 27 i kinda have to chuckle & laugh at myself back then. imagining myself with a 40 sth. yo person back than? nooooooo. just nope.

yes, yes, i know. sex ix sex ix sex is sex. as long as it's consensual, all's well. when love (or lust) takes hold of you...., right. and i totally agree!! so, i'm not actually saying it's wrong (especially not in this book, since it was made oh so very clear that noah was "of age" before anything happened, prbly to prevent people from coming out of the woodwork and start pointing the statutory rape finger).

and what's with that anyways? that whole "you must be at least 18, otherwise it's rape"? is it really like that in the US? here in germany it's quite different, and the law isn't that rigid, e.g. you can have sex with sb who's at least 14 if you're under 21, and everybody above 21 is legally allowed to have sex with anybody who's at least 16. meaning, yes it's legal for a 55yo to fuck a 16yo (provided it's consensual of course).

all that being said... this was hot as shit. not so much the beginning when noah was like 12... me knowing that this would be smutty in the end it kinda felt wrong tbh. at first.
but then, with noah becoming older (i don't mean the "age number, i'm referring to his mental age/state (or however you want to call it) the daddy kink starts to grow on you. even if it's not your kink to begin with.

and hell, that last scene at the very end of the book. whoo. totally "wrong" but oh-so-good nonetheless. yep. gonna stop now.

my point being, even though it took me a bit to get there with all the rambling and stuff, that this is a totally enjoyable, sweet and hot as fuck read. despite the age gap and logan being somewhat of a father figure in the beginning.

so. overall: a rounded-up-to-4-stars!
